chicago set a record yesterday when temperatures soared to 103. no doubt sticky degrees. look at the roadway there. even the pavement is buckling. that was in texas. and the lack of rainfall, severe heat, impacting corn crops. in the last three weeks the price of corn has increased by almost 30%. the story of supply and demand and a lot of heat. >> crops getting roasted. i'm surprised not turning to popcorn. craziness. >> 5:46. i don't know if we'll have our roads buckling but we're in for a warm-up. >> no, getting outdoors should be popping into your head because it's going to get hot next week. and next weekend, one where you probably want to seek shade, stay indoors, make it a movie weekend. this weekend we're going to hold on to temperatures around average for this time of year. taking a live look over the oakland coliseum this morning. you can see mostly cloudy conditions right now over o-town. same for san francisco. we have the marine layer all the

way over livermore and san jose this morning so mostly cloudy start. but that's going to keep your temperatures down. sunshine for the first part of the day, a cooler afternoon in some cities especially the coast. we'll be just about as warm inland. 55 in san francisco. 46 in santa rosa. 55 in san mateo. high pressure still firmly in control of our forecast. and what that means is this fog will clear out quickly. an area of low pressure that ushered in a stronger on shore flow but the winds are going to pick up and you can see that from the future cast. you're starting to get the greens and the blues where it will turn breezy. san jose, not too bad for us. wind out of the northwest at about 10 to 15 miles per hour. more like 20 miles per hour. gusting to 30 at times at the coast today. next 48 hours look like this. we're going to get wind through the weekend but temperatures are going to remain around averages. starting to creep up for saturday, then level off on sunday. we're not talking about the 70s that we have in the forecast for

this friday. overall warmer each and every day all the way throughout the extended period. 79 in san jose, 7 day tells the story, in the 90, mid 90s tuesday into wednesday. and the reading on tuesday, that says 94 degrees, is going to feel like 98 degrees in some cities with additional moisture that humidity factor comes into play. so it's going to get sticky around here as we head into the midsection next week could see isolated thunderstorms in the mountains as well. first we want to check your drive. mike is so busy and it's friday. >> it is friday so i guess reminder also about friday doesn't mean we don't have a commute. it kicks in later. a little lazier for some parts. 580, the 16-minute drive out of the altamont pass. by the time we get to greensville it's all right. the dublin interchange at the limit. a little construction blocking one lane north. not a major concern. we'll take you north, antioch

now. this is kicking in but gradually. from g street a 46 on the sensors, down to the low 40s over to somersville. concord and walnut creek fine heading to the bay bridge toll plaza. a look at the toll plaza, the valley very light. east shore freeway. 18 minutes from the carquinez bridge. not a problem for visibility on the approach or the berkeley area. we'll show you the approach and there again, the lighter volume, the traffic flows pretty nice now. we have that accident investigation at island drive by the golf course. the fire in millbrae on the peninsula a new accident that we're following northbound 280 at northbound 101. injuries reported, one lane blocked. we're waiting for a second tow truck. slowing out of daly city from geneva and ocean up to the scene of that interchange. 101 might slow for spectators.

and we're hooking at the south bay with a flow north bound no major issues, construction and crews here, 85 around 28, stevens creek, no slowing there. >> definitely stepping on your toes but i have a traffic alert. caltrain will begin work to build lanes between university and embarcadero road in palo alto. the hans alanes are being added make it easier to merge. construction will close down southbound university tonight from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and northbound tomorrow night from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. f. you have been on the stretch you know. it will make it easier. >> you know she wears lethal heels. looks like dorothy from "the wizard of oz." bright red. bay area sports legend

passionate about more than baseball. the the man loves cats. he's helping out the homeless ones. >> a live look outside talking about that overcast sky, hanging over the bay area as well as the golden gate bridge this morning. we'll keep checking that forecast, see when it's all going to burn off.

>> good friday morning to you. waking up to some cloudy skies. yeah, a little bit of overcast throughout the bay area. one of the nice things i love about the bay area, cool starts, warm finish.

not too shabby on a friday. >> and with all of those clouds it doesn't matter. it's friday. we can tell you a bay area sports legend proving he is a cool cat trying to help some feline find new homes. tony la russa hosting cat independence days at one of his animal shelters. get this, he is waiving adoption fees for cats 6 months or older. nice work, tony. the event being held at the tony la russa animal rescue foundation in walnut creek. independent cat days runs the month. >> good folks there. >> absolutely. man's best friend, there is a great dane in north carolina who we're guessing is pretty dog tired. >> understandably. for good reason. bella tending to a new litter of 17 puppies. >> how many? >> 17. that's a lot of puppies. that's a big load. i thought triplets was hard.

as much as they would like to keep them they are hooking for good homes. hate to disappoint, bella, it's not close to the record. >> what is the record? >> 24. >> 24 in one? >> great danes are huge but that's a lot of puppies. >> have to be like a shetland pony version of a great dane. wow. >> lots of pups there. i'd love a great dane. 5:55. i want to look at the forecast. >> let's do. >> that was painful just to watch from this side of the weather desk. good morning to you. and of course we always tip our hats to laura garcia-cannon. we think about triplets coming out of that little tiny body. hot momma on the desk. 57 in san jose and 57 to start you out, it's crisp out there in sunnyvale but we do have quite a bit of low cloud cover. that's going to keep us cool. in the 70s later on and then

major changes on the way. i'll sort those out for you. first, a check of the drive with mike. >> more action even though it's a light volume we've got pretty significant accidents around, the latest in the south bay. northbound 680 at the off ramp, 237, when it's a road here, not a highway, and we're looking at a car that ran into a light pole. sounds like the driver is in shock but shocked as well so we're sorting out the medical condition of this person and the light pole. use caution there. chp will do traffic control. they have told me they call at sigalert for northbound 280, the one lane blocked because it's going to be a half hour, we're going to end with this map. back to you. >> 5:56. still to come a child shot to

death at his home. we'll have the latest on what appears to be a tragic accident. >> scott peterson, remember that name, he is appealing his death sentence. why his lawyer says peterson was treated unfairly. >> new jobs numbers show how many people scored work. not really impressive in june.
